Habitat & Geographic Range

Águila cabeza blanca

Habitat

Found across multiple habitat types including tropical and subtropical moist broadleaf forests, tropical and subtropical dry broadleaf forests, and flooded grasslands and savannas, among 10 distinct biome types spanning the Neotropic and Palearctic realms. Populations are also found in montane and highland environments at higher elevations.

Range

Widely distributed across Europe (8 countries), North America (United States), and South America (Ecuador).

Climbing Flat-bean

Habitat

Typically found in diverse terrestrial habitats from tropical forests to temperate regions.

Águila cabeza blanca

El ave nacional de los Estados Unidos y símbolo del éxito conservacionista americano, el águila cabeza blanca tiene una envergadura de hasta 2,4 metros y habita bosques y humedales próximos a aguas abiertas en toda Norteamérica. Casi extinta en la década de 1960 por el envenenamiento con DDT y la caza, se recuperó de forma notable gracias a las prohibiciones de pesticidas y la Ley de Especies en Peligro.

Climbing Flat-bean

Climbing Flat Bean, Vigna unguiculata subsp. sesquipedalis, commonly known as the Yard-long Bean or Asparagus Bean, is a vigorous climbing legume in the family Fabaceae widely cultivated across tropical and subtropical Asia for its extraordinarily long, edible pods. The pods, reaching up to 60–100 cm in length, are harvested when young and tender and are used extensively in Chinese, Southeast Asian, and South Asian cuisine. The species climbs trellises and poles using tendril-like, twining stems, producing purplish-white flowers that develop into the characteristic pendulous, slender bean pods. Like other Vigna species, it fixes atmospheric nitrogen through symbiotic bacteria in root nodules, improving soil fertility. Climbing Flat Bean is a warm-season crop requiring full sun, high temperatures, and adequate moisture, making it well suited to humid tropical and monsoon climates. It is an important food crop providing protein and vitamins for rural communities across Asia and is cultivated as a commercial vegetable in many tropical countries. The species is also grown in tropical America and Africa. Being a domesticated cultivar complex, its conservation status is not formally assessed in terms of wild populations, though the preservation of genetic diversity in cultivated landraces is an agricultural priority.
